Letter body: 

Our economy is anemic. We’re told there’s 5 percent unemployment, but government statistics don’t count those out of work for [more] than a year. Actual unemployment is 15 to 20 percent — ask any college graduate who can’t find work.

We need to build a wall to restore our sovereignty along our southern border. We’re told there are 10 million to 15 million illegal immigrants in our country but it’s really closer to 30 million.

Those are two main issues on which Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz agree. If Trump were to drop out of the race for the GOP presidential nomination today, the anarchists, progressive socialist-herd-instinct college kids and illegal immigrants would switch to protesting at Cruz rallies, and call him a hatemonger and racist.

We’re a nation of citizens (not immigrants) who follow the rule of law established by the Constitution of a representative republic. Our country won’t bow to mob rule, something illegals immigrants don’t understand.

I want my country back, and I want illegal immigrants to leave.

Somehow the progressive socialists/Democratic Party believe controlling our southern border is mean-spirited, that it’s wrong to round up illegal immigrants who are bleeding us dry, living in Section 8 housing and receiving food stamps, welfare, emergency room health care and a once-great education.

Are those immigrants and their diversity more noble and important to the elite politicians than the sovereignty of America and its citizens? Why do we have to become a Third World hellhole just to make things fair?
